  • Publication number: 20050055578
    Abstract: The protection of data on a client mobile computing device by a server computer system such as within an enterprise network or on a separate mobile computing device is described. Security tools are described that provide different security policies to be enforced based on a location associated with a network environment in which a mobile device is operating. Methods for detecting the location of the mobile device are described. Additionally, the security tools may also provide for enforcing different policies based on security features. Examples of security features include the type of connection, wired or wireless, over which data is being transferred, the operation of anti-virus software, or the type of network adapter card. The different security policies provide enforcement mechanisms that may be tailored based upon the detected location and/or active security features associated with the mobile device. Examples of enforcement mechanisms are adaptive port blocking, file hiding and file encryption.

  • Publication number: 20030174841
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and data structures are provided for secure data content presentation. A client makes a request to access data content on a remote server. A key is associated with the data content. Moreover, the key and the data content are delivered to the client. In one embodiment, a proxy server generates the key and provides the data content along with the key to the client. The client validates the key prior to presenting the data content.
